With the experimental warmheartedness of '60s French films and the pizzicato sapidity of horizontal hip-hop, Simon Green's Bonobo envision accomplished a welcome recession of a pretension-free, post-party noetic settle down. An nigh mum figure among Ibizian romanticists, Green began in Brighton, debuting in 1999 with a cartroad on Tru Thoughts Recordings' When Shapes Join Together digest. Though tempted by offers from Mute and XL later on the official effect of "The Scuba EP" and the "Terrapin" single, Green stuck with Tru Thoughts for the acclaimed debut LP Animal Magic. Highlighted by downtempo dub, funk, and an evenly likeable manipulation of sitars, Animal Magic was an obvious success and plans were chop-chop made for careful European support appearances, as well as a follow-up album, Dial "M" for Monkey, for Coldcut's Ninja Tune label. A tour to financial backing the record followed and was documented on the 2005 EP Live Sessions.
